It occurs to me that we've been throwing around some pretty big numbers in my 3.2 exploits of late.
I want to see how little I can spend converting Luckie's 914, but still do the job correctly. Here are the parameters: The engine has to be no larger than 2.4. This will save us the major expense of having to provide external cooling. The oil system will only be tank and lines. The 2.4 will use an early 901 911 flywheel, which I should be able to find used. It will also use a stock clutch. The goal on this one will be finished for $5k. I sourced a core 2.2T engine for $300. Since it was so little, I have quite a bit of room to fix whatever it needs, but 911 parts get expensive fast. I'm going with Megasquirt II fuel injection possibly on a custom-built intake manifold. This arrangement will not use the expensive 914/6 bellcrank conversion, but rather a simple 914/4 stock throttle cable. Current expenditures listed below: Engine mount: $90 2.2T engine (long block, delivered): $195 (cost adjusted for unneeded parts sold off) Megasquirt II ECU: $85 FI components (relay board cables and wiring): $219.25 Intake: $55 Headers: $168 Crank-fire pulley kit: $175 Blast headers: $10 POR-20 for the headers: $37.02 Current total $1034.27 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) |

Are there any disadvantages to using a front tank setup like this? The reason I ask is this may be the route I choose so I can get a little bit better weight distribution.

Didnt mean to thread Jack but that tank is substantially less than a fender mount. |

Didnt mean to thread Jack but that tank is substantially less than a fender mount. The oil system on the RS has nothing to do with saving money. The budget on that car came to 10x the budget of this conversion thread. In the final analysis, that tank won't save you anything. |
